Thats actually something different - that deals with the training
slash sometimes added by django, and is done for cache limitation.
Slashes *in* messageids is independent of that. That's why I
misunderstood you :)

That doesn't mean it's not possible to work around it of course. We
have a grand total of 6 messages in our archives that have < or > in
the messageid, but as long as we only eat one of them, and only at
beginning or end, it should be safe.
